He also commended the RGGP for getting accreditation from the prestigious National Board of Accreditation (NBA). Later, the Education Minister visited the classrooms, library and other facilities.
Vice Chancellor of Arunodaya University VN Sharma while attending the REILA urged the students to work hard to get success in life. Principal, RGGP Dr AK Tripathy highlighted the various achievements and problems affecting the institute and while mentioning the problems of encroachment and trespassing, appealed the Minister to look into the matter seriously.
